Question

Steam is sometimes used to melt ice. Is this change physical change or chemical change ?

Answer 1

Physical change because it's still water at a molecular level.

Answer 2

Without going into the process of what is going on here, it is physical because steam and water are still H2O after the melting process.  

Answer 3

physical changes do not change the structure of the materials

chemical changes do

Freezing, melting, vaporizing are all physical changes.

On the other hand, combustion, rusting, and others are all chemical changes.

Answer 4

Both the Steam and the Ice undergo Physical changes.

The Steam, on melting the Ice, releases Latent Heat of Condensation and, the Ice, on condensing the steam, absorbs Latent Heat of Fusion.

No Chemical change takes place.  

Answer 5

This is a physical change, because even though ice is water after melting, it is still H2O. It can be frozen back to ice again.
